Khiana Berg was all smiles Monday morning in state District Court after receiving a three-year deferred sentence for beating her mother up three times in one day. The sentence was deferred because Berg was accepted into Hill County Drug Treatment Court over the weekend.

Her other offense, which was part of...

The weather may not be picture perfect just yet. But make no mistake, spring has sprung, and that means golf is back. Local courses in Havre, Chinook and all over the Hi-Line are now fully open for business, and given the warmer, albeit windy days, I’m guessing places like Prairie Farms Golf Course, Beaver Creek Golf Course and the Chinook Golf Club have already seen plenty of traffic.
